The video was uploaded to Facebook over the weekend but later taken down after people reacted furiously to it.

Cleveland Police said they believe the man found dead is the same man who was sprayed with red paint outside Tesco Express on the High Street in Normanby.

They said a post-mortem examination has been held and although the death is not being treated as suspicious.

Detective Inspector Matt Hollingsworth, of Cleveland Police, said: ‘Police are aware of the speculation on social media regarding the cause of the man’s
death but we are not linking the assault with his death.’
